To celebrate her birthday, Dakota and her friends gathered at Toronto's Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts where they watched a live production of Beauty and the Beast! Later, the girls and their families gathered at a nearby restaurant to eat and celebrate with cake. This Beauty and the Beast inspired cake was commisioned by Dakota's mom to help celebrate at the restaurant after the show. (Thanks to Beautiful Kitchen for the inspiration for Belle!)
The cake was a delicious Devil's food cake filled with bittersweet chocolate ganache and covered in Swiss meringue buttercream! I received a note from Dakota's mom; apparently Belle was "so real looking that Dakota let out a squeal...thanks Laura (and the ganache was FAB)."
